Whether you're particular about pilsners, porters or IPAs, or prefer lagers or lighter brews with less calories and carbs, one thing all beer lovers can agree on is there's nothing like cracking open a cold one - especially on National Beer Day, April 7.

It was on that day back in 1933, that the Cullen-Harrison Act was enacted, once again allowing the sale of suds (containing up to or 4.05% by volume) some seven months prior the repeal of prohibition.

It was so momentous an occasion in our history, that 76 years later, beer enthusiast Justin Smith of Richmond, Virginia created National Beer Day through a page on Facebook. The holiday got brewing from there through social media channels and the creation of the beer drinking app "untapped."

In 2017, National Beer Day was officially recognized by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and on the Congressional Record by Congressman Dave Brat. So clearly, it's legit.
